BzzAgent - Smarterer




I joined the BzzCampaign for Smarterer and it is pretty fun. There are a lot of things to take tests on like blogging, Facebook, Twitter, etc. You can also share your results on your social networks and get badges to put on your blog or profile page! Pretty cool. Try it out here (or by clicking the picture).

From BostInnovation:
About Smarterer: Smarterer is a testing platform to score people on digital, social, and technical skills. Our mission is to give people an easy, fun, and authentic way to show the world what they know.

From BzzAgent Campaign page:
Smarterer is a platform designed to score individuals on digital, social, and technical skills. Using crowdsourced test design and a scoring mechanism similar to the one developed to rank chess masters, in just 10 questions and 60 seconds we can give you a valid score.

  • Blogging tools like Blogger, Tumblr, and WordPress

Black Friday Deals

Yes, I am well aware that this is late because most people already have their Black Friday gameplan all mapped out and ready to go, but I am going to post links to some of the Black Friday sites anyway!

Swagbucks Pays For Your Holidays!

Search & Win

I LOVE Swagbucks! It will not change your life unless you are lucky or you search A LOT, but I have easily collected over $100 in Amazon Gift Cards in the past year. I am going to cash out as much as possible before January 1 and in 2012, I am going to leave all my points in there and see how far I can go. Sounds like fun and may help a lot with next Christmas!

But to the point...THIS Christmas, Swagbucks is doing a little promotion (November 9-28) where you put things on your wishlist to earn an entry, then share on Facebook and Twitter to earn additional entries for a chance to win $2500 in Amazon gift cards! That would certainly make for a nice Christmas!

Mail Call!

Mail has been happy lately and I have forgotten to report it. Yesterday my pink ribbon lapel pin came, then today...the Target Sampler I requested and my Swiffer Duster starter kit from Vocalpoint! Yay! I had just emailed them the other day when I got the email requesting my review because it hadn't come and then it popped up today. So it is time to clean the ceiling fan and some other stuff to see how the Swiffer Duster compares to my trusty old Pledge duster. I am excited to find out. :)


BzzAgent - Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions Sensitive Skin Solutions

I have been using the Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions Sensitive Skin Solutions products that I was sent through BzzAgent nearly daily for almost a month now. (Yes, I have skipped a day or two here or there out of sheer exhaustion.) This is my report:

I am still in love with the product because my face is not greasy or oily or dry. The natural ingredients are very appealing and indeed do not cause any redness or irritation for me. Once when I used the cleanser right after getting out of the shower I felt some tingling, but I think that was because I had just gotten out of a hot shower and my pores were dilated so more of the product was getting in and doing what it is meant to do - CLEAN! Even though I did feel some tingling, my skin was not red or irritated and felt fine after rinsing and applying the moisturizer.

Since I am somewhat acne prone, I look for products that will reduce this tendency. Being a sensitive skin product with natural ingredients, I was not looking for the Burt's Bees line to do that, but I have noticed that my face seems to have not broken out as much since I started using it. Because of all this, I continue to be happy with the product and will continue to spread the word!
